Elizabeth Carter has spent her life as the backbone of her family, sacrificing her dreams for her husband and children in their quiet Oregon home. She has always put everyone else first, her own desires fading into the background of daily life.
But when a terminal diagnosis changes everything, Liz is forced to confront the life she has lived and the time she has left. As her family grapples with the reality of losing her-her husband's fear masked by practicality, her daughter's love tangled with distance, and her son's quiet, watchful support-Liz makes a decision that shocks them all: she will no longer live on anyone else's terms.
Through tears, arguments, and moments of breathtaking clarity, Liz embarks on a transformative journey to rediscover herself. Along the way, she reclaims her voice, her joy, and the pieces of her she thought she'd lost forever.
This is a story of love, resilience, and the courage to take charge of your own narrative. Join Liz as she learns that even in the face of an ending, there's still time for a new beginning.
